Subclass 189 wait estimates · — EOI pool
Not enough recent rounds to compute a wait estimate for this subclass.
189 rank can be estimated from points and DOE; 190 and state/territory-nominated 491 are selected by each jurisdiction under its own policy and priorities, so a national EOI queue rank doesn't apply.
